Wedding Weekend
Posted Mar. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe Bear House is a delightful place to stay. We had the full upstairs and it was like two small apartments that were joined together. Yes it is a little eclectic, but so many personal touches and each room is decorated individually. Everyone loved it. Plenty of little sitting areas and very quiet and sound proof. Lots of little extras and niceties, with candy dishes and Keurig coffee makers. One note, not a negative, but more of a heads up, you do access the space via a small set of stairs. No elevators, so if you are ADA challenged, this might not be the best place for your stay.

Weekend stay
Posted Dec. 4, 2023 on HomeAwayEverything was great. My husband and two kids stayed with our friends and their two kids. The accommodations were clean and the decor was really cute. The Christmas decor was so well done. We would love to stay here again!

Super Location / Tremendous Character
Posted Nov. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayThe character of this house is beyond your imagination! Located close to the Lookout Mountain Incline, it is also conveniently close to downtown Chattanooga. With plenty of outside areas to enjoy conversation, in peaceful and pleasant surroundings... this place is good for a vacation, and great for the soul!

Absolutely Wonderful!
Posted Oct. 19, 2023 on HomeAwayThe Bear House is an absolutely perfect home to secure for your travels to Chattanooga. I needed a place to take three friends, with two of these friends being elderly. The Bear House was absolutely perfect for us. The owners provided everything a traveler could need and more! The rooms are beautifully decorated and outfitted. The toiletries are amazing and smell so good. The snacks and assortments of coffee and tea were better than any place we’ve ever stayed at before. Linens were clean and seemed new. The gardens outside were beautiful, and the decorations for fall were lovely. The location was great for everything we’d planned. The owners were so welcoming and helpful. We really couldn’t have found a more perfect place to stay. ❤️❤️

Peaceful and beautiful
Posted Oct. 2, 2023 on HomeAwayBear House is a beautiful home in a great location. We couldn’t believe how the owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Lots of snacks, breakfast bars, pop corn and Moon Pies!! Water and candy in every room. The gardens are so pretty with many sitting areas to sit and relax. Steve and Sharman where really nice and quick to answer any questions. We would highly recommend Bear House to anyone as we really enjoyed our stay!!

Perfect location and property
Posted Jun. 26, 2023 on HomeAwayThe Bear House was the perfect location and property for our family vacation! It is central to Chattanooga and its various activities and St. Elmo is a wonderful neighborhood to be in with young kids. The property was exceptional - rooms, living, kitchen area, outdoor spaces, and all the special extras! We would recommend to everyone.

Beautiful Home! Already planning a trip back!
Posted May 30, 2023 on HomeAwayWe stayed at Steve and Sharman’s property and it was such a wonderful stay! When we arrived we were greeted with the warmest welcome and tour of the property. Steve showed us around the home and spent time explaining the history of the property and the local area. It was such a nice touch to the stay!!
The rooms, kitchens, and and restrooms were spotless. There were refreshments and snacks waiting. Each rom had a delicious jar of candy to choose from (amazing touch for the kids and anyone with a sweet tooth!) and there were many to select from.
The house also has a beautiful garden and a few patio areas with rocking swings and chairs. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home.
We were going to go to Ruby Falls (down the road) but the tickets sold out by the time we went to book a slot. Sharman and Steve saved the day by sharing some Children’s museum tickets with us and the kids had a blast!
I can’t say enough great things about our stay. Highly recommended!! We will be back!

Third times still a charm! 💕
Posted May 22, 2023 on HomeAwayWe love the coziness and special touches of the Bear House. We have stayed here 3 times now for triathlon racing and training in Chattanooga. It’s an ideal location to get to downtown, as well as local grocery, restaurants, ice cream, and coffee shops. We will be back again, I’m sure. Steve and Sharman are wonderful hosts and provide all the comforts of home and then some! Thank you again! We appreciate how much work you must put into being reliable and gracious hosts.

11th Birthday Joy
Posted May 14, 2023 on HomeAwayWe have stayed here before and loved it. This trip was no different. My daughter turned 11 and wanted a girls trip to celebrate in Chattanooga. A part of our enjoyment was this wonderful home and host😊 Perfect space for our group of 8. Close proximity to all of the popular spots to tour. In a quiet neighborhood and felt completely safe.
Thank you to the Sherfey’s for another wonderful stay!
